National Weather Service : Observed Weather for past 3 Days : Wayne, Wayne Municipal Airport

I notice a weird weather event when I was looking at the dewpoints in Nebraska dewpoints in parts fo the area are in the low 80s.

In Omaha it is 91 degrees with humidity 66% and a dewpoint right now of 79.

It is very hazy though today in Omaha area, so I didn't know if the humidity could really be that high in Wayne, NE with that 84 degree air temperature and 92% humidity with fair skies

Is there a lot of corn/other crops nearby? I've heard that those add a TON of moisture to the air. Seems like every summer the corn belt has dewpoints rivaling the gulf coast (and even higher). Not sure if the corn is mature enough at this point for that.

I have never been there but it is a part of the station that has alot of crops in general.

The western part of the state I believe is more cattle and wheat.

This reporting station is more I believe in a corn and soy producing area of the state.

Yes, Nebraska is among the nation's top corn producers. It's called the Breadbasket for a reason

That's a heat index of 44.4°C/112°F using NOAA system. For my heat index system, that's a heat index of 41.1°C/106°F

The highest dew point I can remember at my location in real life was 80*F (27*C) on Sunday 24 July 2016. The temperature was 88 (31) and it felt absolutely disgusting, a weird mixture of cool and hot and just a general "ick" factor turned up to 11.
